Is Beatlemania out again and nobody told me?
I’m getting the impression that the Beatlemania is out again.
Yesterday, on Simpsons, Lisa had to put a corrective dental device and, to do this, she had to be knock out with gas (you know, “breathe this” and you go to sleep). After breathing the gas, she had a strange dream that looked a lot like “Yellow Submarine”, the movie. They even put a purple submarine with four guys in it that really looked like the Beatles. I think the translation cut another pun when one the guys say something in the lines of “Lisa is flying”, which I think should be “Lisa in the Sky”.
Today, switching channels, I stopped on Cartoon Network and saw a part of “PowerPuff Girls”. I got it from the second half, but it looked like Mojo Jojo united with other three villains and formed a bad group called “Beat All”. Then he found a female monkey called Moko Jono and the group disbanded, basically ‘cause he was going to “Moko Jono said that screaming would hurt people’s ears, and that’s what we want to do” and “Moko Jono said that white stuff can be stolen” (while stealing flour and eggs and milk). They even added the Moko Jono trainer, called Jude, and the girls present she to Mojo saying “Hey Jude!”.
And, after a little search, it looks like it is the brazilian channels doing their worst again: the Simpsons episode was first aired 1993/03/11 and the PowerPuff Girls on 2001/02/09.
(BTW, be sure to check the PowerPuff quotes from that episode. Lots of references to Beatles)
